Effectively running Java applications on AWS By Maximilian Schellhorn, Dennis Kieselhorst

There are several options to get Java running in the Cloud. Join this deep dive session with a mix of presentations and live demonstrations to learn how to effectively run Java applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). You will get an overview about recent cloud-native developments in the Java ecosystem and Amazon Corretto, a production-ready distribution of the OpenJDK. We’ll guide you through different deployment options both for containers and Serverless functions including services like AWS Lambda, Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). You will also understand how to leverage development tools such as CLIs and IDE support, infrastructure as code and Observability tooling. After this session you will be able to make well informed decisions when running Java workloads on AWS.
